Will be interesting to see when the ARC Raiders honeymoon period ends. I'm now more interested in hearing complaints about the game. You can only read so many "ARC Raiders changed my life" comments before it all blends together.
Servers are persistent. Once raiders extract or die, new ones coming in so its almost always full
Expect weekly patches here aswell and big content drop every 3 months next year
Hmm. Deploying when the round is 2/3 over is stressful. Even a little bit unfair perhaps. But I was able to return with over 20,000 worth of loot from the starter map, so...
At level 15 you unlock "ranked" trials and stuff so you can rank up and unlock more goodies. :O
You are the target demographic. This will be your GotY.
All I know is now that this launched if Bungie plans to release marathon in the next 3-6 months they are giga fucked.
I was thinking that it'd be nice for there to be an incentive in collaborating with other players. Free loadouts are a blessing, but I also believe they sort of incentivize many people to just go nuclear on others and not mind the consecuences if they die, which would be interesting to see if they can turn it around and maybe balance it out a bit. Even after getting the hang of the game, most of my encounters with others have been hostile and while I love the tension, I'd like to have more bonding experiences in the game.
Mate I loved Helldivers, for some reason my mates are not too hot on this one so I'm riding solo and it's been a fucking blast anyways. What a purchase.
Thw more the gama will go on the more it will be harder to find good ppl, but when you will, it will be even more cool
It would be if not for all the psycho murder hobos... The game doesn't mitigate enough for it in my opinion. They could easily make an optional PvE mode like Grey Zone Warfare successfully does. They have enough numbers to not compromise the PvP mode. That said, I do enjoy Arc Raiders a lot as it is also though, so idk.
More likely he just wants it to be more dangerous than it currently is.
I got you, ill post some thoughts after I've put a decent amount in. I was going to do that in the Marathon thread but they way that game is shaping up I really don't want to cop for a ban.
The Queen? You need to gather a few teams together to take it down.
You and
Luipadre
are the only two other people on GAF who can critique this game with a unique Marathon perspective. I'm definitely curious to hear from both of you there. 
Regarding the relative friendliness of the early game, its by design. Most solo's at least seem to be focusing on the missions. There's not much point in risking what little loot you may have or borking a single run quest just to get the drop in someone presently. I'm betting once everyone gears up and the stakes get bigger things will change.You and
I'm trying to find valid ARC Raiders criticism now but it's hard to come by. I'm wondering if people think they did the 4 maps right? I generally like the idea of "progressing" to a new, more difficult map, but my impression (from the sidelines) is that there's no difficulty ramp on the 4 they give you? Not sure if I'm reading that right.
Sorry if it came across that way, it was not my intention. I was poking fun at Embark for breaking the game with a patch only to release another one shortly afterwards.
Nah. It's almost done and surprisingly good. It plays nothing like Arc Raiders.
Eh? Some basic tips to help folks out is hardly "try hards" but whatever.
It makes footsteps and other background audio easier to hear.
Better loot, more and aggressive ARCS, 10x times the thrill
That's the mode in game, we are on about a setting in the audio menu.Better loot, more and aggressive ARCS, 10x times the thrill
Yeah pretty unique experience while it's new for everyone. Wonder how long this will last for?
